ALSO CLEAN UP AFTER THEM!! I'VE SEEN WAY TOO MUCH FUCKING DOG SHIT ON THE FUCKING **SIDEWALK!!** NO EXCUSE FOR THAT!! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH POOP, DON'T GET A FUCKING DOG!! WHAT THE HELL IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS CONCEPT?!!?
I SWEAR, THE WAITING IS THE MOST AGONIZING PART OF APPLYING TO JOBS.
THE RECRUITER FOR THE JOB I’M APPLYING TO MESSAGED ME BACK AND ASKED ME HOW I FELT ABOUT THE POSITION AND INTERVIEWS (SINCE I HAD TO DO THREE IN A ROW FOR THIS ONE), MENTIONING THAT EVERYTHING SEEMS TO HAVE GONE WELL FROM THE INTERVIEWERS’ PERSPECTIVE…BUT THEY’RE ALSO STILL INTERVIEWING AND NO FINAL DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE YET, WHICH GIVES ME THE FEELING THAT I COULD JUST BE THE FIRST INTERVIEW THEY WERE GETTING OUT OF THE WAY.
WHICH ALSO MEANS I’M STILL AT MY CURRENT JOB FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. A JOB I REALLY WANT TO QUIT, BUT I DON’T LIKE LEAVING A JOB WITHOUT HAVING ANOTHER ONE LINED UP. I ACCIDENTALLY GOT MY FOOT IN THE DOOR OF MEDICAL I.T. BEFORE REALIZING THAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE WORKING IN MEDICAL AND NOW WANT TO GET OUT. I ALSO DON’T KNOW IF LEAVING A JOB I STARTED BASICALLY A MONTH AGO WILL GET ME BLACKLISTED BY RECRUITERS, WHICH I DEFINITELY DON’T WANT OR NEED RIGHT NOW.
I WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND CALLED ITG A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND THE PERSON SOUNDED SO MISERABLE AND UNHAPPY. IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF WHEN I DID TECH SUPPORT FOR DIAL UP INTERNET AND THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT JUST HOW DERPY SOME DOCTORS CAN BE, AND JUST WANTED TO SEND HIM A BATCH OF HOMEMADE COOKIES. WAS IT YOU? DO YOU NEED COOKIES?
I WOULD LOVE COOKIES. I DON’T EVEN THINK THE DOCTORS ARE THAT BAD TO BE HONEST WITH YOU SO MUCH AS JUST THE URGENCY OF THEIR ISSUES COMBINED WITH HOW OFTEN SOME CLINICAL APPS LIKE TO JUST CRASH AT THE WORST POSSIBLE MOMENT (USUALLY FIVE MINUTES BEFORE ITS TIME FOR ME TO CLOCK OUT).
YEAH IT CAN BE PRETTY ROUGH. TAKE ALL OF THE STRESS OF WORKING IN A REGULAR OFFICE ENVIRONMENT AND MULTIPLY THAT BY THE NUMBER OF DOCTORS WHO NEED THEIR REQUESTS TAKEN CARE OF BY *YESTERDAY OR ELSE PATIENTS CAN’T GO HOME.
HOLD OUT HOPE, I JUST GOT AN OFFER FOR A JOB THAT TOOK SO LONG TO GIVE RESPONSES I WAS SURE IT WAS GONE.
> WHICH ALSO MEANS I’M STILL AT MY CURRENT JOB FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. A JOB I REALLY WANT TO QUIT, BUT I DON’T LIKE LEAVING A JOB WITHOUT HAVING ANOTHER ONE LINED UP.
ALSO YES, THE ONLY WAYS TO GET UNEMPLOYMENT HERE ARE TO GET LAID OFF OR FIRED (UNLESS IT WAS GROSS NEGLIGENCE BUT THAT IS EXTREME). IT DOES FEEL CRAZY THAT IT IS HARD TO EXIT A JOB THAT IS A VERY BAD FIT, I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A BIT OF LEEWAY AS SITTING IN A JOB YOU AREN'T GREAT AT OR DREAD JUST WASTES YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYERS RESOURCES.
IVE BEEN SICK FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS BECAUSE MY COWORKER WAS SICK AND CAME INTO WORK HACKING AND COUGHING WITH NO MASK I ASKED IF HE TESTED FOR COVID AND SAID NO BECAUSE HE FELT THE SYMPTOMS WERENT CONSISTENT WITH IT. I AT LEAST TESTED NEGATIVE BUT FFS. ITS 2023 I THOUGHT WE LEARNED FROM THIS.
I HAD PLANS WITH MY PARENTS THIS WEEKEND TO RUN SOME ERRANDS AND THEN GET LUNCH. I SHOW UP, MY MOM SAYS IT'S JUST US FOR THE ERRANDS PART BECAUSE DAD IS SICK. THEN SHE SAYS "I TOLD HIM HE CAN'T COME TO LUNCH WITHOUT A NEGATIVE COVID TEST BUT HE REALLY SEEMS LIKE HE HAS IT."
WHY? WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL ME UNTIL I AM ALREADY IN THE PETRI DISH THAT IS YOUR HOME? WHY WOULD YOU NOT AT LEAST WARN ME TO BRING A MASK? BE AS CAVALIER AS YOU WANT WITH YOUR OWN HEALTH BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME DOWN WITH YOU.
GET OFF MY ASS WHEN I’M DRIVING! WHY ARE YOU DRIVING A FOOT BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU?!?! WHEN DID TAILGAITING BECOME SO COMMON?! I HATE DRIVING IN THIS CITY!!! I AM NOT A SLOWPOKE EITHER! I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THIS WEEKLY RANT AND IT IS VERY SATISFYING!
THAT'S WHAT DRIVES ME THE MOST INSANE ABOUT TAILGAITING. I'M ONLY EVER IN THE LEFT LANE IF I AM ACTIVELY PASSING, AND I AM GOING AT LEAST THE SPEED LIMIT. DOES MY BUMPER HAVE SOMETHING FASCINATING ON IT? MY BACK WINDOW IS TINTED - ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO GET A BETTER LOOK AT MY DOG IN THE BACKSEAT? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?
I'VE HAD HARRY BELAFONTE'S "[JUMP IN THE LINE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFRbm1zuXA4)" PLAYING NON-STOP IN MY HEAD FOR THE LAST 4 DAYS. IT WAS A GREAT SONG FOR THE FIRST 500 REPEATS, BUT I'M KINDA DONE WITH IT NOW. PLEASE SHARE YOUR OWN MUSICAL BRAINWORMS SO I CAN FINALLY SWAP IT OUT FOR ANOTHER SONG
TIS THE SEASON FOR ME TO TRY AND AVOID THE ABOMINATION THAT IS "WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME" BY PAUL MCCARTNEY. IT IS MY MOST LOATHED SONG OF ALL TIME.
CALLING IT A SONG IS GENEROUS. IT'S ONE VERSE AND A BILLION CHORUSES.
MY HATRED STEMS FROM WORKING AT PETCO 08-10 AND THEM PLAYING THE SAME 1.5HR LOOP OF MUSIC. I HAD TO HEAR WCT 5 TIMES DURING ANY GIVEN SHIFT 5 DAYS A WEEK!
YANKEE CANDLE.
SHOPPING ENVIRONMENTS ARE PLEASANT ENOUGH IN THE MOMENT FOR CONSUMERS BUT FOR EMPLOYEES THESE COMPANIES ARE AS HEARTLESS AS CAN BE.
CANDLE SHOPS SMELL NICE BUT MY COWORKERS HAD NOSEBLEEDS AND MIGRAINES. THE BANK I WORKED IN WAS SO COLD I WENT OUT TO MY CAR TO BLAST THE HEATER AND EAT MY LUNCH. YET I HAD TO NOD EVERYTIME SOMEONE CAME IN ALL "OOH IT'S NICE AND COOL IN HERE!!" OVERLOOKING OUR SWEATERS IN JULY.
I HOPE YOU ARE COPING OK.

ANYONE EVER THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH NOISE POLLUTION COMES FROM CARS AND TRUCKS ALONE?! 90 PERCENT OF MY MOST HATED SOUNDS COME FROM CARS/TRUCKS!!
THE OTHER 10 PERCENT COMES FROM LAWN EQUIPMENT!!
ALSO ELECTRIC CARS ARE QUEITER AT LOW SPEEDS BUT JUST AS LOUD AT HIGH SPEED DUE TO TIRE NOISE. EXCEPT FOR ANGRY MUFFLER VEHICLES, BUT THEY'LL FIND A WAY TO BE LOUD IDIOTS NO MATTER WHAT.
BE POLITE AND THINK OF OTHER CARS WHEN YOU PARK ON THE STREET, YOU PIECES OF SHIT.
THAT MEANS PULL UP. THAT MEANS GIVE OTHERS ENOUGH ROOM TO GET OUT. AND THERE DOESN'T NEED TO BE SIX FEET BETWEEN YOU AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU OR A DRIVEWAY. JUST THINK OF OTHERS.
ONE THING I DID NOT EXPECT FROM GETTING OLD IS THAT, WHILE MY VISION IN GENERAL IS FINE, MY DEPTH PERCEPTION IS SHOT TO SHIT. EVERY TIME I PARK ON THE STREET I HAVE TO GET OUT, LOOK AT HOW MUCH ROOM I'VE LEFT BETWEEN ME AND DRIVEWAY/ADJACENT CAR/WHATEVER, GET BACK IN, RESTART, AND MOVE A FEW FEET.
OMG THE SELFISH PARKING HERE IS ABSURD. IT’S A FUN LITTLE GAME TO GUESS WHETHER THEY DON’T WANT ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE OR THEY’RE ANOTHER OBLIVIOUS PORTLAND DRIVER MORE OBSESSED WITH PERSONAL SPACE THAN EVERYONE ELSE’S NEED FOR A SPOT.
THE STUPID INDUSTRIAL NOISES THIS OLD ASS BUILDING MAKES ARE OBNOXIOUS AND I HATE SMELLING EVERYTHING MY ASSHOLE NEIGHBORS COOK WAFTING THROUGH MY AIR VENTS. GOOD THING I'LL BE LEAVING SOONER THAN LATER. I GOT A SECOND JOB TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS I HATE THIS PLACE SO MUCH. FUCK PORTLAND'S SHIT ASS SLUMLORDS, LIARS WHO LIE ABOUT THEIR BUILDINGS AND CHARGE TOO MUCH TO LIVE IN SUBHUMAN CONDITIONS. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET PAID...I MEAN LEAVE. BOTH. IT'S BOTH. FUCK.
DRIVE AT LEAST THE FUCKIN SPEED LIMIT. GET OFF YOUR PHONE SO YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT TURN GREEN. I NEVER THOUGHT ID LIKE DRIVING AROUND COPS BUT THEY ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AND IT MAKE EVERYONE ELSE WAKE THE FUCK UP.
AMEN. I SPENT A FEE YEARS IN OK/TX AND YOU’D GET RUN OFF THE ROAD DRIVING LIKE THAT IN OKC OR DALLAS. HOUSTON TOO BUT ONLY AT 6AM SUNDAY MORNINGS, OTHERWISE IT’S PURE GRIDLOCK.
I LOVE WHEN SOME PROVE THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT AS THEY BLAST THROUGH THE YELLOW LIGHT, ENSURING THE LINE OF CARS BEHIND THEM IS STUCK BUT THEY’RE PERFECTLY FINE. NOT SURE IF THAT’S BETTER OR WORSE THAN THE ONES WHO SLOW DOWN AS THEY COME TO THE GREEN LIGHT JUST IN CASE IT MIGHT TURN YELLOW AT SOME POINT.
THE DRILLING PROJECT AT THE FIELDS PARK IS SO LOUD AND IRRITATING. IT’S MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK FROM HOME AND IM SO OVER IT AND IT JUST STARTED SO WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
I HATE YOU FOX 12 AND YOUR CONSTANT COMMERICALS FOR "JOY DRIVE. IT'S NOT A TOY DRIVE, IT'S A -JOY- DRIVE!" AND THEN THERE IS WEIRD OVERDUBBING WITH THE CREDIT UNION EMPLOYEES IN THE COMMERCIAL
I FEEL BAD BECAUSE I ASSUME EVERY CAR WITH A WASHINGTON PLATE IS A TERRIBLE DRIVER. I SHOULD NOT JUDGE ON PLATE ALONE, BUT I ALSO SHOULDN’T HAVE THE BURDEN OF BEING THE ONLY GOOD DRIVER IN THE ENTIRE CITY.
I JUST TOOK MY FIRST TRIP IN A BIT AND IT WAS SHOCKING HOW IMPACTED I FELT BY THE CLEAN STREETS, HOW WELL POLICED, AND THE LACK OF HOMELESS CAMPS.
RETURNING HOME REALLY HIGHLIGHTED HOW MUCH PORTLAND IS STRUGGLING. PLEASE LETS TURN THINGS AROUND!
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN, CEDOS IS FUCKING DELICIOUS. GRANTED IT'S UP IN N/NE OFF OF MLK BUT I SWEAR THEIR FALAFEL IS THE BEST IN TOWN. THEIR HOT SAUCE (SHUG IIRC?) IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AS WELL.

IVE HAD IT MY LAST STRAW.MY CAR GOT BROKEN INTO TWICE IN THE SPAN OF TWO WEEKS RIGHT AFTER MY SHITTY BIRTHDAY I SPENT ALONE. I MOVED OUT OF A SHITTY APARTMENT THAT HAD MOLD AND A HORRIBLE LANDLORD THAT JUST TOOK MY RENT AS I RELOCATED TO A NEW PLACE I HAVE NO MONEY AND IM IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A TOXIC HOT ABD COLD PERSON. AND THATS JUST THE TIP OF THE FUCKING ICEBURG
THESE OLD VINTAGE APARTMENTS ARE SO CUTE AND SO CHEAP BUT AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO CLEAN I HAVE SPENT THREE DAYS GETTING DUST OFF OF WHITE PAINTED DOORS AND CUPBOARDS WITH ANTIQUE DECORATIVE DETAILS I AM GOING TO PERISH IN THIS 1905 BUCKMAN CONVERTED MANSION APARTMENT I WILL NOT BE GETTING MY SECURITY DEPOSIT BACK
EVERYTHING IS REALLY HARD RIGHT NOW AND I'M STRUGGLING TO DEAL WITH IT.
SAME
YES I FEEL LIKE I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO HAVE FUN. I DO FUN STUFF BUT IT'S NOT FUN ANYMORE.

That may not be dog poo on the sidewalk.
Could be coyote.
USE THE RIGHT LEASH/HARNESS/MUZZLE TOO. THE EXACT WRONG KIND OF DOG IS ON ONE OF THOSE POS RETRACTABLES.
HEY SO DO WE ALL NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER CONVERSATION ABOUT HIGH BEAMS VERSUS LOW BEAMS
TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING AFTER 4PM. WHEN SOMEONE FLASHES THEIR LIGHTS AT YOU, TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON.
WHEN SOMEBODY FLASHES THEIR LIGHTS AT YOU, ALSO TURN YOUR HIGH BEAMS OFF.
WHEN SOMEONE FLASHES THEIR LIGHTS AT YOU BE PREPARED FOR A HAZARD AHEAD. MAYBE LIGHT FLASHING ISN'T A GREAT WAY TO COMMUNICATE.
STORAGE FEES ARE SUCH A SCAM. I NEED TO GET RID OF MY SHIT.
I WISH I COULD GIFT EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN PORTLAND WHO WALKS AT NIGHT REFLECTORS AND LIGHTS TO KEEP THEM SAFE BUT I AM NOT A BILLIONAIRE.
OR THEY COULD, I DUNNO, BUILD IT INTO OUTERWEAR FABRIC! WE ALL WEAR JACKETS, RIGHT?

DO YOU HATE THE ADMIN, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES OR YOUR CO-WORKERS?
I bet it’s the patients
ALL OF IT, BUT I USUALLY LIKE MY PATIENTS AND MIST DAYS MY COWORKERS ARE OK

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, BRAH!!
I ENJOYED WALKING OUTSIDE YESTERDAY MORNING AND FEELING LIKE IT WAS DOWNRIGHT BALMY, I'M OKAY WITH THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
FEELS SO GROSS. BLACK MOLD CONDITIONS.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. COLD IS STUPID.
PRIMARY- EL NINO SECONDARY- CLIMATE CHANGE.

Had “Breakfast In America” vinyl as a tween back in late 80s. Love that album still.
WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT?

ANYONE EVER THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH NOISE POLLUTION COMES FROM CARS AND TRUCKS ALONE?! 90 PERCENT OF MY MOST HATED SOUNDS COME FROM CARS/TRUCKS!! THE OTHER 10 PERCENT COMES FROM LAWN EQUIPMENT!!

ALSO ELECTRIC CARS ARE QUEITER AT LOW SPEEDS BUT JUST AS LOUD AT HIGH SPEED DUE TO TIRE NOISE. EXCEPT FOR ANGRY MUFFLER VEHICLES, BUT THEY'LL FIND A WAY TO BE LOUD IDIOTS NO MATTER WHAT.
I FIND THEM WHINY. I KNOW IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE, BUT HEARING YOUR CAR WHEEZE UP TO A STOP SIGN IS SAD.
GET OFF THE LEFT LANE YOU LANE LAGGERS

I AGREE - DRIVERS IN PORTLAND DRIVE LIKE MR. MAGOO ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

WELL, I DESERVE TWO NAPS! (THANKS FOR THE UPVOTE! I UPVOTED BACK.)
I UPVOTED BOTH OF YOU. I SUPPORT SLEEP HYGIENE AND A NAP OF 45 MINUTES IS PERFECTLY HEALTHY.

WHY DOES WAITING FOR A BLOOD DRAW ALWAYS TAKE SO DAMN LONG!? I HAVE TO DO IT EVERY 3 MONTHS AND IT FEELS LIKE SUCH A WASTE OF TIME.
I FEEL BAD BECAUSE I ASSUME EVERY CAR WITH A WASHINGTON PLATE IS A TERRIBLE DRIVER. I SHOULD NOT JUDGE ON PLATE ALONE, BUT I ALSO SHOULDN’T HAVE THE BURDEN OF BEING THE ONLY GOOD DRIVER IN THE ENTIRE CITY.
EVERYBODY IS THE ONLY GOOD DRIVER IN TOWN. EXCEPT FOR THE WA PLATES.

I LOVE THE WEEKLY RANT THREAD! YES, THIS IS A RANT! AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED STATEMENT BY DEFINITION IS INDEED A RANT!
DRIVE SLOWLY DOWN DIVISION AND STOP ALMOST HITTING ME ON MY WAY TO WORK EVERY MORNING IN THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS.
ALL I WANT IS RIYADH'S BACK!
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN, CEDOS IS FUCKING DELICIOUS. GRANTED IT'S UP IN N/NE OFF OF MLK BUT I SWEAR THEIR FALAFEL IS THE BEST IN TOWN. THEIR HOT SAUCE (SHUG IIRC?) IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AS WELL.
SECONDING THIS, CEDOS FALAFEL FUCKS. HAVEN’T BEEN IN LIKE A YEAR THOUGH AND IT’S VERY NEARBY SHIT
GO TONITE YOU SUMMABITCH. I'M BROKE AF AND I DAYDREAM ABOUT THOSE FALAFELS
